Who am I?

Hi there! Welcome to my world.

My name is Jon Negroni and I’m a writer of books, cultural theories, and entertainment reviews. I also make YouTube videos and host a weekly podcast called Cinemaholics. When I finished college at 21, I decided to make a blog that could be about anything I want, so here we are.

My latest book is Killerjoy, a fantasy adventure novel that combines everything I love about superheroes and comic books with traditional high fantasy. My first book was The Pixar Theory, based on the viral blog post I wrote here in 2013. Since then, the book and the blog post have been read by hundreds of millions around the world and in dozens of languages.

I started this blog in 2012 to write about all the things I care about. Naturally, I gravitated toward some of my biggest passions: film and entertainment.

By day, I’m a copywriter based out of the Bay Area (which I call the Internet, California). But by night and very early morning, I overanalyze movies on this platform.

To become a film critic, I had to do the typical work (study journalism, take some film school courses, cry in my sleep, etc.) But I’m much more interested in some of the nonconventional ways I can share my love of movies with you. That includes some of the videos I make, along with various editorials like Snarcasm. More recently, I’ve decided to shirk the conventional “movie review” in favor of more personal writings about the movies I watch and why I think you should care about them.

I always try to search for the hidden meanings behind the best (and even the worst) stories. I get a thrill out of exploring incredible fan theories, tackling the worst articles of the Internet, and more. There’s plenty of nonsense, but hopefully some insight here and there.

HI! okay, to start off, I’m a huge fan of the Pixar theory. I was wondering if you could elaborate more on your interest in the Pixar theory. I am writing a paper for my writing class in college and would love to learn more about it. Thanks!
